Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Donoue General Hospital runs into a budget deficit, even though the doctors drive expensive imported cars and live an outlandish lifestyle. Office manager Momoi finds surgeon Kosuke Sagara (Ikki Sawamura) through a medical website. Kosuke Sagara arrives at the hospital and tells the director of the general hospital (Yoko Nogiwa) to decide on his pay after watching his work. Kosuke Sagara informs the hospital that he had previously quit his job at a university hospital and taken a year sabbatical.

While touring Donoue General Hospital, Kosuke Sagara observes surgeon Kazue Minagawa (Ran Ito) and Suguru Moriyama (Masanobu Takashima) taking part in operation involving a patient with pancreatic cancer. During the procedure, the patient's health deteriorates. Dr. Minagawa and Moriyama are shaken by the change. Kosuke Sagara enters the operation room.

At night, the condition of the patient changes ...

Moriyama's Lil Pog Champ Jul 28 2021 6:53 pm Season 4 pls ;-;

doctor vandalay Nov 30 2018 1:15 pm Ive watched this series a couple of times and i realised the most important character arent the doctors, but the medical representative Shibuya. Nothing happens without her involvement.

nads Sep 16 2018 5:09 am After watching this drama so far...the plot is really educational (in a sense of the diseases and care given) and eye opening as you get to know more about the cast,the hospital's way of receiving patients before and after..

pretty curious of the way moriyama sensei reacted whenever he was happy and mad...esp when talking or talking about sagara sensei....does he have like a psychological condition?

Rabia May 19 2017 11:05 am can anyone tell me is there gonna be a season 4??????

tati diana Oct 05 2016 10:20 pm I have seen this movie at wakuwaku japan. I love it. Sagara sensei is very cool, kind hearted, and very inspiring how the doctor must be. I hope I can see the next episode.

Adhistya Febryanto Sep 26 2015 12:08 pm Suguru Moriyama is the best doctor. Very funny too.

Lulu Sep 21 2015 9:34 pm Very good movies.. hope to see more episodes / season 2 with the same cast.. I really like Kosuke Sagara :)

Arief Sep 16 2015 7:10 am Inspiration movie.... i hope more episode please

Shing Aug 14 2014 4:53 pm This was such an excellent series that gets better as it goes on. This series has a great story and a great cast of characters. Each of the episodes feature a unique story and each one is pretty emotional and deep.

The casting of Ikki Sawamura as the lead character was a great move and he carries the main character pretty well. Likewise the same could be said of the casting of Manami Higa as the main female lead and love interest. Those two characters had such great chemistry.

Little disappointed that its only 8 episodes long but the series is still excellent

Mike Jan 07 2014 4:24 pm I'm quite disappointed that this show ended after only 8 episodes, this is something I could have watched for a very long time.

iam Jun 13 2013 11:35 pm Educational and eye opener

anonymous Jan 26 2012 7:36 am great drama... but the ending's not quite an ending that i did not realise it's the ending... kind of disappointed with the ending but it's a great drama nevertheless, very refreshing..

rizal Jan 19 2012 7:27 am Good drama and you just have a look at the rating, 18.5% !

Guess Who Oct 29 2011 3:31 pm Dr. Kosuke Sagara is one cool doctor. Dr. Kosuke Sagara is a kind doctor to his patients, he also has a darker side, using sometimes questionable means to punish colleagues who have forgotten their duties due to greed. --Tokyohive
